continential attacks?

I love the tread pattern on Conti's RoadAttack and SportAttack(lame name though) but being in the US where Continential is a four letter word among motorcyclists, I'm wary. Anyone with experiance with them? Stateside vs Worldwide opinion on Continential? Reviews so far seem to be decent.

Unless someone gives me a reason not to, I think these will be the next set of tires my Ducati sees.

I'm also digging the funky tread of thier sport classic TKV tires possibly for my 750.

Sorry I don't know anything about them.

I missed this thread. I have a pair of these and they are good tires so far. I feel as though they stick very well. I also like the tread patern. They are wearing relatively quick, but they are more performance based, so they tend to wear quicker.

Skimping on tires for your bike is not a good idea. Z rated car tires wear pretty quick too.

So you have the sport attacks? (vs the road attacks, which are supposed to be more of a commuter/tour tire)

Mine are the Road Attack. I'd hate to think how fast I'd eat up the performance ones. The ones I have look just like the picture at the start of this thread. Maybe they both look the same (Road and Sport).

I can't remember which those are, the swipes are slightly larger and shallower on the sports... but without looking at them side by side it's real hard to see the difference.

This may be of some help.
